To dZZ whom it may concern:

1 "Beitknownthat:LGEoEeEKIssAMOooKE,

a citizen of -the. United States, residir g" atrNoQ' 216 Fultonstreet,"Jamaica, in the cityofNew York, 'State of'New York; have invented cer-' tain new and usefuliImprovements in; rFluid- Measuring Faucets, of which thei'following' is 7 section on line 0 '0, Fig. 1.

- the reservoir 'A,.'and said co'rk is provided 'A indicates a reservoir; for holding the fluid. i a B indicatesia glass into whichfluid from the vessel A is to, be'drawn. I 1 0 indicates a corkuwhich fits the, opening in with'a central cylindrical opening G, :into

which the-upperpart of "the faucet-casing D isiitted snugly to insure an air-tight-joint be-v tween said cork and casing. V I

' "The casing l) is providedat itsup er end with openings 13', through whichi t e fluid mayfiow from the reservoir A into the eon-v duit D toithelower end of the casing-where further 'xfiowl is prevented by the valve E,

which fits avalve-seat'E in the lower endof its upper end and 'below'theend ofthe casing,

the casing .l). The: valve E is mountedon a tube F; which extends entirely through. the casing El) and projects into Lthe'reservoir' A at at its lower end: Secured to the tube F is an abutment-flange f, which forms anabutment for the lower end "of the spring G, the upper end of which abuts against the underside of the top of the casing "D. This springuissuffi flciently-compressed to insure theiti'ght seating 'of the v alve E; The extreme lower endof thetube F is split for a short distance vertically, and a tapered thread is cut thereon and a nut H is. fittedthereto so thatthe split portion I of the tube F, maybe compressed by the nut H, and thereby firmly hold the rod I, which fits slidingly within saidtube, as shown. a 'Fastened-to the nut I-I-at either side thereof are wire-rods J, which extendoutward and'upward, as shown, and attached I thereto are flgage stops K, which are adapted tos'lide onthe rods J and ,be secured thereto at anyJde'Siredmeight thereon'q-bythe setscrews "These; rods may be ;dispensed with, ifdes'ird, and, also the nut H, aslwill be explained morefully hereinafter,,where it is desired to use the =device,on small bottles ,},'&c., -which maybe easily handled. ,A-t the-phottom of. the casing D; is located-a cross-piece D provided with anopening, at its reenter D,

which supports ,ithe tube; F and; holds it eeritral in the casing.

f'Above the.- .upper end ,ofthe casing. D is a "ring; L, which isfittedto. the tube-F, and ,a 1 thumb-nut'f-L, the point of "which I passes throu'gha hole in the tube F and holds the gage-rod I. This illustrates the fact thatithe gage rod' I may-be held from a position above thecasingD. or 'below'the same. i

On the extreme lower end of the gage-rod I is usually placed, a soft-rubber pad-I to prevent injury to the glass.

Having" thus "described the parts, I I will now describe the operation of the device.

Assuming that'jthe fluid in the reservoir A Patented June 26, race 1 I is. atthe-h'e'ight illustrated by the "linear and thedevice'placedin position relative to the glass" B as illustrated, the fluid. would 'ilow into the casing D ,andjdown to the valveE, Where it would be held by the valve '3 :By

pressingupward on the glass Bvor lallowing the weight of the device :to restonthe limitgages' K' K or the gagerod I; the valve E would be forced open against the pressure of the spring G, and the fluid would flow from "the faucet into the glass; un'til'it' filledit up to the height indicated by EthQ'dQL'GQd'IiHGOO, 'whichis the extreme bottom offthe lcasing'l), when no more fluid would flow, forthe reason that' theswater would form aseal and prevent the air from entering the casing, and, reservoir to replace'the fluid withdrawn, and therefore by adjustingthe limit-gages K K orthe rod I, whichever may be preferred,,to;the proper height relative "to the glass B, a defi- Ioo nite amount ofv fluid may be" drawn from the reservoir, and when thefluid ceases to flow and-'- the glass is lowered relative to-the faucet the-spring will close:the faucet-valve ,and prevent furtherflow therefrom. In case it is desired to prevent a person from [changing the amount :of fluid that would be delivered -into aglassof a given diameter, the screw L would be used toliold the rod land-the rod could not-be changed relative to the casing IIO without removing the faucet from the reservoir. If it was desired to adjust the rod at will, the screw L would be withdrawn from engagement with the rod I, and the rod I could be held by the nut H in any desired position.

When the stops K K are used to limit the amount of fluid to be drawn from the reser-' voir, the rod I may be entirely removed, if desired, and thereby the air may flow into the reservoir through the tube F, and thus allow the fluid to flow more freely than is the case when the air must flow through the fluid through the casing D. It is for this reason that the tube F is preferably made long enough to reach near the top of the reservoir, so that when the rod I is not used the air is conducted directly above the surface of the fluid in the reservoir. It will be understood from the foregoing that the tube F can be cut off just above the ring L and the device still work properly. It will also be understood that when the diameter of the glass is known the faucetmaybe adjusted so that a definite amount of fluid may be measured into the glass.

The device is especially adapted to measuring medicine, syrups for soda fountains, spirits, &c., and its compact and simple mechanism renders it an article of great utility.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A faucet comprising a casing having an outlet, a valve within said casing, means whereby said valve may be operated, adjustable means connected with said valve for gaging the depth of said outlet in a receptacle when the lattter is used in conjunction with the faucet.

. 2. A faucet comprising a casing provided with an outlet, a valve located in said casing and controlling the outlet, adjustable means cooperative with said valve whereby a predetermined quantity of fluid may be discharged therethrough when used with areceptacle of predetermined capacity and thereafter no further fluid will be discharged whether the valve remains open or closed, until after the receptacle into which the fluid is drawn is removed, and whereby the removal of said receptacle will allow the valve to close.
